Reports from Katsak village of Jema’a local government area of Kaduna state say that about nine persons were killed by unidentified gunmen, in the early hours of Thursday.
A similar attack, according to the reports, also occurred at the Ungwan Danborno community of Birnin Gwari local government area where five other persons were also murdered.
A total of about 15 persons were said to have sustained varying degrees of injuries during the incidents.
Confirming the attacks in a statement yesterday, Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i, conveyed his sympathy to families of the victims.
El-Rufa’i said that series of comprehensive measures were being designed to tackle the problem and secure sustainable peace across the state.
The Governor said that he was determined to work with the security agencies and the judiciary to end what he described as the epidemic of killings and the impunity that feeds it.
According to the statement, “government is working to contain the killings and criminal acts menacing Giwa, Birnin Gwari, Kaura, Sanga, Jema’a and Zangon Kataf local government areas.
“We have briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on the security challenges and he is supportive of the measures being designed to address them.
“We pray Almighty God to grant the deceased eternal rest and our hearts go to the injured and the families of the bereaved,” El-Rufa’i said.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has shut down the Benin Airport in the South-South region of Nigeria, for Runway repairs.
A statement issued by FAAN said flight operations at the Benin Airport will be shut from Saturday, June 20 till Friday, July 10, to facilitate rehabilitation work on the airport’s runway.

Nollywood Actor Ik Ogbonna and Sonia Morales welcome son (photo)
Actor and model IK Ogbonna has welcomed a son with his stunning Colombian girlfriend, Sonia Morales. She gave birth this morning June 20th. The little bundle of joy has been named Ace. He's so cute! Congrats to them
Zaaki Adzay, has denied reports that he kicked his former wifewife out
Zaaki said he wouldn’t know why his ex walked out of the marriage but he didn’t do anything wrong to her.
“I have been quiet about this matter for a long time. I cannot really say much about it until the outcome of the case is done. But the truth is that she left me, I didn’t leave her. I did everything a man is supposed to do for his wife. Only God will judge. Anybody can say anything in the papers, talk is cheap anyway,” he said.
With a case in court over the custody of their children, Zaaki said he can’t wait to get reunited with his kids.
“I have remarried and my wife is a full housewife. One of my kids is already with me and she is having a swell time. I know that for sure. As far as I am concerned, I am happy. I just want to be reunited with my other kids. The marriage is dead. The bone of contention is just my kids,” he said
Even at 64, I won’t stop acting like young boy –Charly Boy
Charles Oputa, just clocked 64 and anybody who expects the funky grandfather to change his lifestyle might be in for a long wait.
“There will always be that boy that lives in me. I don’t want to be like you people who want to grow old, be adults, and go through all the shenanigans of adulthood. I just want to be peaceful and playful, so I can’t kill that boy. That boy will always live in me, and that is what has given me that spiritual calm and that is why I relate better with younger people than older people, and I love children more than older people, who are full of intrigues. So, I’m not interested in all that.”
“Wetin I dey take old people dey do? They are old and they are in a hurry to get into their graves, I’m not. You even hear people saying how old they are, as if they are rushing to go somewhere. Life is for living, for me,” he said.
He is known for posting weird and outrageous photographs online which has earned him so many abusive names from fans and foes.
But does this bother him? No way!
“If I’m bothered, I would have stopped. You think say I send them message? I don’t live for the society. People are wondering what people like me are trying to say, but this is a downcast society, no matter how civilised people think we are. Why should I be bothered? I am who I am and I’m not worried about stigmatisation or labelling of any kind. Because I have strong confidence in my person, so I no see anybody. Anything wey you dey talk, na for your pocket, as long as I’m not hurting anybody. What business do we have in being this wretched, when we allow riffraff, thieves and hooligans to rule us just because they have money? Our value system is broken down. Where is our pedigree or heritage? We allow gangsters to terrorise our lives. What is that? Is that the kind of society that will tell a whole Charly Boy what to do? No. Rather, I need to teach them a few things about how to have a better mindset. I could have done better than Jonathan. Not even me, my son could have done better than him,” he said.
Now that he has reached a new age, Charly Boy says retirement is not even for him.
“Wetin dey worry una sef? So anybody above 60 should go around with a walking stick and retire to the farmland. What’s that? Do I look like someone who is tired? Precisely, life is just starting for me. I’m planning to come back and very soon you’d see me everywhere. I’ve been on sabbatical for some time, for my spiritual rebirth, so I’m out now and I’m younger and fresher. Me and una wey young go drag am o,” he said.
Charleston Church Killer says he almost didn't do it because they were so nice
Race-hate Dylann Roof, who already faces calls for the death penalty, sat for an hour with members of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church before opening fire and killing six women and three men.
He told police:
“I wanted to start a race war, but almost didn’t go through with it because everyone was so nice.”After the confession, Roof’s own uncle has said he would act as executioner.But as a judge asked a relative of each of those killed whether they wanted to address a bond hearing, they offered forgiveness and prayers for his soul.
Looking at the killer, the daughter of grandmother Ethel Lance, 70, said:
Felicia Sanders, the mother of victim Tywanza Sanders, said:“I forgive you. Lord have mercy on your soul.“I will never talk to her ever again, but I forgive you. You hurt me. You hurt a lot of people but I forgive you.”
“We welcomed you in our Bible study with open arms. Every fibre in my body hurts, and I will never be the same. We enjoyed you.“Tywanza Sanders was my son. Tywanza Sanders was my hero. Tywanza was my all. May God have mercy on you.”A representative of Myra Thompson, 59, one of those killed added:
“I forgive you and my family forgives you. Repent and confess and give your life to Christ and change your ways. You’ll be better off than you are now.”Roof remained impassive as each relative spoke. Judge Gosnell explained he could not set bond for the murder charges.
The racist attended the bible study group at 8pm on Wednesday. At 9pm his mood changed as he stood and began ranting.
As Roof pulled a gun, Tywanza Sanders, 26, stood in front of him to save his aunt, Susie Jackson, 87. The hero tried talking him down, but the killer said:
“I have to do this “You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.”Mr Sanders begged him to point the gun at him, instead of anyone else but was told:
“It don’t matter. I’m going to shoot you all.”He then opened fire killing Mr Sanders, his aunt and seven others.Mr Sanders had posted video of the bible class, minutes before the killings, featuring Roof, who spared one parishioner ordering her to “tell the world” what she had seen.
The mass killer reloaded five times picking off victims including the Reverend Clementa Pinckney, a South Carolina state senator. State Governor Nikki Haley is seeking the death penalty over the killings, described by President Obama as “senseless murders”.
Roof’s uncle, Carson Cowles, said he could never forgive his nephew.
He added:
“I’ll be the one to push the button myself. If he’s found guilty. If what I am hearing is true, he needs to pay. Nobody in my family saw anything like this coming.”Roof told police he bought the .45-caliber murder weapon last April at a store in Charleston using birthday money from his dad. His friends said he had been “planning something for six months”. They recalled how he complained black people were “taking over” and said he wanted to do something about it “for the sake of the white race”.

Meek Mill Pens Open Letter To His Son In TIME For Father's Day
Father's Day 2015 proved occasion for a rare Meek Mill-TIME Magazine connection, as Meek used the publication as a platform to write an open letter to his 4-year old son. He touched on what being a father means to him in light of never having had a father himself. He expressed fear and love regarding fatherhood, and looks forward to helping his son became a great man. Here are a couple excerpts from the letter:
"With my career and my crazy schedule, sometimes it’s tough to be able to spend the amount of time with him that I want and that he deserves. After spending time away from him, one of my favorite things to do is get on my four wheeler with my little man in tow. Picture us riding around my neighborhood waving at all my neighbors. My son is fearless on his bike. Those are the moments I think about when I’m on the road.""I never had a strong male figure in my life. I didn’t have that person to teach me things fathers teach their sons because my father was killed when I was young. It was just me, my mom, and my sister, so I had to be the man of the house. When I was younger, I remember being able to speak to my father and then in the blink of an eye, he was gone.My mom played the role of both mom and dad. We had nothing growing up, so my mom worked any job she could find to provide for me and my sister. I love her so much for that. But as much as I appreciated everything my mother did for me, she couldn’t fill the space that a father should hold in a child’s life."
'I am no were near where I planned to be'- Basketmouth confesses
Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, is one of Nigeria’s biggest comedians. Funny and fearless, hard working and handsome, slim and simple. Yes magazines caught up with the comedian, and he disclosed some truth you never heard about him...
What does it take to succeed in the entertainment industry, especially in the area of comedy?
Sincerely, in every single industry today, the competition is stiff. Information and technology have provided equal opportunities and a level playing field, which means that one has to go the very extra mile to stay relevant and on top of your game. Comedy is not different, so I drive myself to the limit, pay close attention and learn from my environment; continually evolve my style, create new materials from everyday realities and attempt to connect with my audience on a deeper level every time; remaining humble, self disciplined and maintaining every form of loyalty to the people that supported me to this present point that I am and where I will be in future.
What has kept you going all these years?
God is the reason for everything. Everything I own, everything I was, everything that I am and everything I will be, as it stands, it’s not my doing. God has just been a bit partial with me. I am aware that the industry is brewing enormously and I intend to be a partaker, so I work on myself as a brand continually, observing the constant change and allowing myself to be metamorphosed, remaining fresh and always in demand and most especially, remaining relevant to the consumers.
Apart from comedy, what else do you do?
I run a company called Barons World Entertainment, we are a full-option event servicing outfit that offers total event solution, from conceptualizing, planning and excellent execution, which I have been running for six years. This, amongst other things, that I can’t disclose. But trust me, it’s all legit.
Would you say you are made for life with the level you have attained?
I am nowhere near where I planned to be. I’m still on the journey and by God’s grace I will get there soonest.
Africa’s Kings of Comedy was a huge blast, what prompted the idea of that show?
I love trying new ideas, creating different concepts and just watching it come to life. The Africa’s Kings of Comedy was just another project I needed to do, mainly because I wanted to create a platform where other foreign African comedians can come on and display our rich African comedy culture, style and talent. It all started when I did
The Nigeria’s Kings of Comedy in London and I thought I should push it further, hence the conceptualization of AKOC.

As a married man, how have you been coping with your crazy and desperate female fans?
I think the musicians generate the crazy desperate fans, the comedians- not so sure. Well, to the best of my knowledge though, when I come across a female fan like that, I’ll attend to her the same way I will, to a male fan. Pleasantly.

What is the worst moment of your life?
Every moment of my life gave birth to the present me. I don’t consider any moment the worst, as every moment is relevant and instrumental. Even the early days that were rough, when I couldn’t even eat from hand to mouth, those days were some of the best days of my life. If it wasn’t for such experience, I wouldn’t be where I am.
What is the worst rumor you have heard about yourself?
I heard once that I was on drugs, I heard once that I was into fraud, I heard once that I carry cocaine across borders. The list goes on. I find it very amusing though. It goes to show that some people don’t value you when you struggle and have achievements from a positive point. They always want to tie it to something negative, just to justify their own inability to achieve greatness.
What is your definition of a good comedian?
Originality, spontaneity, perfect timing, substance, charisma on stage, strength, self control and confidence. Actually, the list is endless.
What would you say distinguishes you from other comedians?
Everyone is different in their own unique way. The same applies in talent, behavior, culture, character etc. I am definitely different from the rest, not because I intentionally want to, but that is the way I am wired, the way we are all built. You can say it’s my hair, my delivery, my character on stage, my line of jokes and materials, but sincerely, I don’t know. I just know that I am different.
What do you love most about being a comedian?
Being able to get away with anything sometimes.
What annoys you most about being a comedian?
I love what and who I am. Almost every gift has its curse. I’ve decided to live with mine. It’s best I don’t disclose them. There are things better left unsaid.
What is the best advice you have been given, who gave you the advice and what was the advice all about?
Wow! Now, that is a tough one. I have heard so many which impacted my life in more ways than one. At this point, I can’t point out any specifically, but most of what I live by is mostly inspired from general talk, movie lines, books etc. One classic I live by is don’t get into the battle to win your opponent, go in to win the crowd. They are more.
What advice do you have for those who see you as a role model?
Don’t try to be like me, I am not perfect, I have my flaws; don’t try to live the life I live, it might only work for me. Try to be you, be original, be brave, fearless to take those actions, be strong physically, mentally and spiritually and always remember to put God first.
Who do you see as a role model?
A lot of people: Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr, Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Steve Harvey, Kevin Hart, Aliko Dangote and more. These people I admire for different reasons.
This 58 year old grandma's beauty always causes car crashes and makes men weep (photos)
The kind of reports I see on DailyMail these days, lol!
Stephanie Arnott, who lives with husband Ian, 66, in Maidstone, Kent, says she believes she has the face and the figure of a woman 20 years younger, which she puts down to ‘luck and good genes’.
Mrs Arnott, who has one daughter and one grandchild, said her partner enjoys all the attention she gets from other men – but has also noticed that women are jealous of his wife. She said:
On men crying for her
Mrs Arnott said compared to most people, she believes she looks as young as a 30-year-old, ‘apart from a few wrinkles’.
Mrs Arnott said she has dated ‘lots’ of wealthy men over the years, and once dated a tycoon whose friends told her she was the ‘most suitable’ women he had ever met.
‘Women can be intimidated by me because of the way I look, dress and speak. I have class, elegance and beauty, which are all powerful assets. ‘I never used to realise that other women were jealous of me, but now I see it. Women even frown at me on the street – something my husband’s noticed too.’But that’s what happens when you are 58 with the face and figure of a 35-year-old. It’s all natural aswell. I put it all down to luck and good genes.’Mrs Arnott, who believes her looks have almost caused car crashes and even cleans her car while wearing a bikini, said she doesn’t work out – even though ‘for some strange reason my body looks as though I do’.
‘My ex-husband used to get jealous but my husband Ian loves the attention I get. He laps it up and even sometimes likes to walk behind me on the pavement just to see what happens. People inevitably stare at me as I go by and people try and chat me up.’I’ve had all sorts of approached by men. I’ve had notes left on my windscreen.Mrs Arnott, who was married before she met her current husband and has a 38-year-old daughter, said she has always been able to ‘pick and choose’ her men, something which she believes is ‘difficult’ for other women to accept.
‘Once when I lived in a flat and there was scaffolding up outside a guy climbed up and left a note on my bedroom window. It said: “I’d love to wine and dine you” but I didn’t take him up the offer.
‘Until recently (when I’ve lost my looks slightly) I used to cause near-accidents on the streets. People would get distracted by me and have to slam their brakes on.’I remember walking by a crossroad with a friend once. The man at the wheel took a double take at me and there was a very near crash.’I am used to people looking at me. It’s always been so overwhelming – like I’m in the wrong place so I’m used to pretending not to see. I feel a bit silly saying but it’s true.’I’ve also had men getting emotional on me. I can be talking to someone and then I’ll notice they are getting soppy and tearful – and trying to hold back tears.
It’s happened on blind dates or even talking to someone in the queue in the supermarket.’I think it’s because they fall in love at first sight – but obviously they are not going to admit that.’It sounds strange because most people haven’t experienced it but I’m just being honest.
She added: ‘People think I’m a superstar and guess my age at 35. I always look like I’ve just walked off a movie set. People are always surprised to see someone as glamorous as me walking around.I also like to clean the car in bikini, which gets me rather a lot of attention. If it’s a sunny day, I think “why not?
‘But he wanted children and I was used to gallivanting around the world on ships with my first husband, who was also wealthy, and I didn’t want more kids,’ she said. I remember walking into a pub once, the day after Miss World had been on TV, and a guy stopped me and said: ‘Where the hell were you last night? You should have won Miss World”.My top tip for woman to look their best is to always look fresh-faced. Wear a bit of mascara, fill in some eyebrow, if they have been over-plucked and wear a dash of lip liner with a gloss.
